Chapter 305 The Power in the Power
All the people in Taiping Mansion gathered in the courtroom of the government office.
Zhang Anshi directly circulated the newly released will.
Everyone was shocked when they saw it.
"Grandpa, isn't this the same as Kaifu Yitong Sansi?" Li Zhaomo said dumbfounded.
The so-called Kaifu is actually understandable, and the third division of Yitong actually gave Sangong treatment.
The reason why Yitong Sansi is that the essence is that during the Han Dynasty, the Sangong was the real Sangong.
They are veritable prime ministers, who have the power to decide the promotion of officials and directly handle government affairs.
There are even many people who work directly in their own mansions.
"No." Gao Xiang immediately interrupted: "The opening of the mansion is not for the Lord."
He paused, and then said: "This is obviously fought for by the officials for the Ningguo Mansion, the Lord just went to make up the number."
When Gao Xiang said this, someone woke up.
That's right, this matter... can't be said that Duke Wei got the privilege of opening the mansion. After all, this matter is relatively taboo, and it is very detrimental to Duke Wei.
Anyway, it was Jian Yi's joint effort to kill him, and it seems that the fact is the same. As for our father-in-law, didn't he just hit the muzzle of the gun?
So Li Zhaomo said: "My lord, I think it's better to go up and resign. I don't care what Mr. Jian thinks, but I'd better resign and show my feelings."
Zhang Anshi actually couldn't understand this operation, logically speaking...he didn't have such a request.
As for Jian Yi clamoring for this?
Well, Zhang Anshi couldn't understand Jian Yi's inner world, but Mr. Jian joined forces with all the officials to make a fuss. To be honest, he was very courageous and seemed to be a ruthless person.
Zhang Anshi said: "It's fine to decline, who doesn't know me, Zhang Anshi."
After a pause, Zhang Anshi said: "What's more, Your Majesty has always understood me, so you can't be hypocritical."
Everyone: "..."
Zhao Tuiguan thought for a while, and then said: "Actually, what the father-in-law said is correct. The father-in-law dared to accept it, and the father-in-law has nothing to do with it. Besides, so many ministers suddenly came up to play, and we are officials ourselves. Don't you know that?" Is there any way here? Among these people, they have not been instructed, so how could they fight for this for Mr. Jian? After all, Mr. Jian seems fair and strict, but in my opinion, I'm afraid... it is not worthy of the name and has selfish intentions. "
Everyone nodded.
Yes, judging from various operations, it must be Jian Yi's hand. Anyway, they can get rid of their father-in-law first. It's not that the father-in-law doesn't have the heart, but he doesn't have the ability.
Can mobilize all the officials to play, and can pass the court one-sidedly, is this something the father-in-law can do?
Zhao Tuiguan continued: "Your Majesty wanted to come, but he had no choice but to give Mr. Jian such great power. For the sake of a bowl of water and to balance Mr. Jian, this is why our lord made up this amount. According to me Look, Mr. Jian is the main wife, and our father-in-law is at most a dowry girl."
Such an analysis is quite reasonable, everyone was relieved, and said one after another: "Yes, yes, it seems to be so."
Zhang Anshi's face was fluctuating, and he coughed: "Don't talk about all these things, what kind of dowry girl, what kind of main wife, above the court, what does it look like!"
Gao Xiang stood up with a smile, and then reprimanded everyone: "Everyone be quiet, be quiet, listen to the father-in-law's order, the old man will start the scene first, and now everyone has seen the news. Since His Majesty trusts you, how can we not do our best?" ? The meaning of the Lord is that we are deeply favored by the emperor, so we should go all out, so that we can do our best, and if we die, we will not be in vain of His Majesty's kindness."
Zhang Anshi said: "Yes, that's what it means, you must keep your kindness in mind."
Everyone became serious: "What the Lord said is true."
Zhang Anshi said: "Since this is the case, we can't waste His Majesty's trust. This blow to the White Lotus Sect will be deepened. It can no longer be superficial like before."
Gao Xiang immediately said: "Yes, the White Lotus Sect is becoming more and more secretive now, and we can't let it go on like this. The Lord's words are very good."
Everyone nodded.
Zhang Anshidao: "So now, we need to do three things first. First, the industry and commerce can no longer be like before, that is, free-range farming is not allowed. In my opinion, Qixia and the three counties should set up an industrial park. Peacefully level the land and build all the facilities. All the merchants and workshops that have settled in can be given some tax relief. The counties will also deploy a group of smart and capable people. In this park, set up a county magistrate. The office is dedicated to supervising these matters."
After hearing this, Gao Xiang and the others began to chew.
They are already used to the fast-paced working methods in the mansion. After everyone meets to discuss the matter, they will then find the person in charge, and finally push forward the work.
Gao Xiang can probably understand Zhang Anshi's intentions, but he can't pretend that he understands it, but pretends that he doesn't understand it.
So Gao Xiang said: "My lord, what is the meaning of this move?"
Zhang Anshi was waiting for Gao Xiang to take over, and said at this time: "There are a few advantages, that is, if the workshops are scattered everywhere, on the one hand, there may be some conflicts with each township, and these conflicts will breed. It is not easy for officials to mediate. If they gather in one place, things will be much easier to handle. The second is the issue of management. Some of the officials in each township are only good at agriculture, and some are only good at local conditions. I have a good understanding, but I don’t have enough understanding of workshops and business, so it’s not easy to communicate and manage.”
"When it comes to the industrial park, it's easy to handle. Let's train a group of people to deal with workshops and merchants full-time. The government's intentions for industry and commerce, the collection of taxes, this part, they are full-time, of course. It is also familiar with it. It will be convenient to collect taxes in the future, and what happens to merchants and workshops can also be responded to in a timely manner.”
Zhang Anshi continued: "What's more, workshops are gathered together, roads, canals, bridges, and other facilities that facilitate trade and production are built, and money is saved. If not, one workshop here, one workshop there, is it possible that one Do you want to build roads and dredge canals for them? How much manpower and material resources will it cost?"
After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads.
Zhang Anshi said: "However, the most important thing is to deploy a group of capable officials to these places, so that these people should be full of energy, have a wink, and act decisively. I will finalize the decision with Gao Shaoyin, Li Zhaomo and Zhao Tuiguan. The chief officer of this department store is also the department merchant, and it is designated as Cong Qipin."
As soon as they obeyed the seventh rank, many people looked at each other in blank dismay.
Zhou Zhan, the magistrate of Wuhu County, took the lead and said, "Is the seventh rank too high? Ordinary treasurers and ministers... are just ninth rank or cong ninth rank."
But Zhang Anshi said: "We still need to set a higher level, if not... many things are difficult to coordinate, and things cannot be pushed forward."
Everyone was speechless.
Gao Xiang said: "Actually, the father-in-law did this as a last resort. Everyone should be considerate. Not to mention other things, our commercial tax this year has collected tens of thousands of taels of silver, and there will be more in the coming year, occupying our More than half of the government's expenditure, it can be seen that this is the most important thing. The meaning of Yu Cong Qipin lies in this. There are too many affairs involved in industry and commerce, and docks, roads, and land need to be considered. It is inconvenient for the various government offices to negotiate."
Zhang Anshi said: "What Gao Shaoyin said is what I mean."
Gao Xiang blushed and said: "Then according to the officials, there must be a person in our government office who is in charge of supervising the business affairs."
Zhang Anshi pondered and said: "Let's discuss this later, I'll think it over, I'll take care of this matter for the time being."
Immediately, Zhang Anshi said again: "In addition to this, the government government also needs to build an engineering college."
Someone couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Engineering College?"
Zhang Anshi said with a serious expression: "Yes, the one who imitated Guozixue hired teachers, doctors, teaching assistants, and doctors and teaching assistants of various subjects to pay salaries. In my opinion, the head teacher of this school should be determined. It is the fourth rank, the doctor of the college is the fifth rank, and the teaching assistant is the sixth rank. There are also doctors in various subjects, such as alchemy, smelting, machinery, and medicine. They are the seventh rank, and the assistants are the eighth rank. The lecturer is the ninth grade."
"In a word, give a salary, and at the same time...serve as a consultant in the government office. In the future, the government office can ask for advice on engineering and academic matters. Not only that, if they have any ideas, they can also apply for money and food to give them some support."
At this moment, Gao Xiang, whose face was full of red, was also a little confused.
This... the treatment is too grand, the highest rank is actually the fourth rank, and the fifth, sixth, and seventh ranks are even more black hats flying all over the sky.
Although he knew that this was just a treatment for an official, but it was really scary.
"This..." Gao Xiang finally couldn't help but said, "Is the treatment too generous?"
Zhang Anshi said calmly: "It's okay, it's not easier for them to learn than it is for us to govern the people. I discussed this matter with His Majesty, and His Majesty did not object."
Zhang Anshi said again: "This is called a great reward. There must be a brave man. You must teach people that to do real learning, you can not only earn money, but also have an official status. Some people may think it is not right, but think about it, just smelting, the same For a furnace of steel, there was an ingenious craftsman who improved the furnace and saved more than 100 catties of coal for each furnace of steel. How much coal can be saved in dozens of furnaces in one day? After one year, it is another How much? If you are stingy when it comes to giving rewards, who is willing to bother?"
"I heard that there are many idle scholars in Qixia now. What about them...there is no hope in the imperial examination, but they have high eyes and low hands, and they do nothing every day. I just want to teach these people to know that in our Qixia, no, in Taiping Mansion, I don't care if they are scholars. Agriculture or business, whoever has made contributions to our Taiping Mansion is the one who is superior, if not...no matter how many books you have read and what articles you can write, then squat aside for me, don't be an eyesore. "
Gao Xiang and the others pondered for a while, thought for a while, and said: "The things that the father-in-law did in the past, the lower officials didn't understand at first, but later they realized the magic. If you want to come to this engineering college, it's probably the same. I have an idea, the officials will go and try it out.”
Zhang Anshidao: "Of course, it's not all at once to ask someone to be the head teacher, doctorate, and teaching assistant. First, select some lecturers and teaching assistants from various subjects. These are all eight or nine grades. If you make great contributions in the future Yes, or someone who is more academically advanced will be promoted."
"What's more, the imperial court gives official salaries, and they are allowed to bow to each other without bowing to officials on weekdays, but after all, they don't allow them to hold any power. They just teach them to teach some students and cultivate some talents for us."
Everyone was naturally speechless.
It's not that everyone is begging for perfection and listening to Zhang Anshi's arrangements in everything.
In fact, these people are all officials, and they all know that the quality of Taiping Mansion is related to their wealth and lives.
If the Taiping Mansion is flourishing, they will surely rise in the future, but if something goes wrong in the Taiping Mansion, not only will they be lost forever, but they will also be left with a bad name forever.
In fact, they have been stigmatized for thousands of years. Among the scholars, everyone may only say a word to Zhang Anshi as a lucky minister.It is probably the treatment of Wei Qing in the Han Dynasty. Everyone admits that you, Zhang Anshi, are really good, but didn't you start your career with the emperor's relatives?
But for people like Gao Xiang, Shilin scholars all grit their teeth, wishing to eat their flesh raw.
After all, if Zhang Anshi is a heretic, then Gao Xiang and others are heretics, scum and traitors among scholars.
If you really feel that something is inappropriate, everyone dares to expose it, not to mention Zhang Anshi's temperament, if you are not single-minded, he will definitely punish you to death, but if you are single-minded and do things with all your heart, even if there are doubts, even if Zhang Anshi is anxious He slaps the table, but he will never retaliate.
Now everyone has a very clear understanding of the father-in-law's disposition.
Zhang Anshi said: "There is one more thing. Of course, this is just a trivial matter. It is to clean up the markets and commercial streets everywhere. Of course, it is not to teach people to disturb the businesses, but to clean up the streets. A few days ago, I saw Qixia's The market is full of sewage and garbage is flying all over the place. There is a lot of people there, but it can’t be like this. This matter needs to be supervised, and it must be spotless. After some time, the Shaoyin Hall will send people to check.”
After roughly finalizing some matters, Zhang Anshi adjourned the meeting.
Everyone has written down what Zhang Anshi said, and if it involves their own responsibilities, they immediately go back to the office to handle it, and if it does not involve their own responsibilities, they are busy with their own responsibilities.
As for the candidates for the Secretary and Merchant of the Three Counties Industrial Park.
In fact, Zhang Anshi already had a draft.
On the next day, three people appeared in front of Zhang Anshi.
They looked haggard and looked a little tired, and saluted Zhang Anshi very ashamedly.
Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Well, I heard that the paper-making workshop has improved."
These three people were Kuang Ye, Wang Wenlue and Zhang Youcheng who were thrown into the papermaking workshop by Zhang Anshi back then.
Kuang Ye smiled bitterly and said, "It's ashamed to say, although there are some small profits, they are barely supported."
"What's the reason?" Zhang Anshi stared at him.
Kuang Ye said: "There are three reasons. The first is the scale. The demand for paper is indeed high in the market now, but some workshops have begun to increase the scale. The increase in scale has allowed them to share the cost evenly. The price is relatively high. We have an advantage."
"Why do you want to expand production?"
"It was already a loss at the beginning, but the father-in-law made a hole for us, and we are afraid of expanding production. If we lose money by then, I am sorry for the father-in-law."
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "I don't think it's just for this reason. Even if there is no such thing, you don't have the courage to really take money to expand the scale. After all... this involves your own wealth and life. Many people I still choose to get rich and settle down, only the decisive or ambitious people are willing to put all their eggs in one basket."
"What the Lord said is true."
Zhang Anshi said again: "Any other reasons?"
"Also, there is too much flow of craftsmen, and now there is a shortage of labor, and things like digging craftsmen happen from time to time."
Zhang Anshi said: "What else?"
"Insufficient promotion." Wang Wenlue said from the side: "It's my fault. I am responsible for going out to negotiate business with people. Most of them are regular customers, and these regular customers are very cunning. They often deliberately invite students and others. People from a paper mill go to discuss business together, and we must keep the price of the paper mill down to the lowest."
Zhang Anshi laughed and said: "It seems that you still can't lose your face!"
The three of them were ashamed.
Zhang Anshi said: "Starting tomorrow, you don't have to manage the paper workshop anymore."
"This..." The three of them were taken aback, somewhat reluctant.
To be honest, it was hard to straighten out the matter of Zhifang and wanted to get rid of the shame. After running it for a year, I still have some feelings.
"Do you know that Taiping Mansion collects business tax?"
Kuang Ye said: "I don't know!"
Zhang Anshi said: "What do you think?"
"The interests of industry and commerce are so great, how can there be no reason not to levy taxes?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Yes, the industrial and commercial tax, in the future... must be the pillar of my Daming, but my Daming... where can I find a way to communicate with merchants, understand their habits, deal with them, and understand their difficulties? People who are well aware of their cunning nature. And these people need upright people who will never go with them. Difficult, difficult..."
The three of Kuang Ye are fools, and they actually understand what it means.
At this time, Kuang Ye seemed to understand something. When he confronted Zhang Anshi back then, perhaps Zhang Anshi did not blame them from the beginning, but admired their integrity.
That's why they were arranged to go to the paper mill. The essence was to let the three of them get in touch with industry and commerce. It turned out that...
If so, then this Wei Guogong is too terrifying.
Zhang Anshi smiled again and said: "You should know the business tax situation this year, and its proportion will increase in the future. Taiping Mansion is to set an example for the whole world. This is the first of its kind to levy business tax. , It started from the Taiping Mansion, and it has been promoted throughout the world. In the future, the taxation of industry and commerce will become the pillar of the imperial court, so the imperial court must pay attention to industry and commerce.
"Therefore, Taiping Mansion is in urgent need of talents who understand business and industry. After thinking about it, I thought of you. Now the three counties of Wuhu are going to build an industrial and commercial park, set up three business offices, and these three chief officials, In fact, the official position is not high, but it is only from the seventh rank. To you back then, it was really inconspicuous. But this matter is of great importance, and I don’t feel relieved to hand it over to other people. Moreover...these three people are needed, and I can rely on them in the future These three industrial and commercial parks have cultivated a group of capable civil servants, if you are interested, I can give you an order."
Kuang Ye and the three looked at each other.
Zhang Anshi said: "Why, dare not?"
Wang Wenlue smiled wryly and said, "My lord, why bother to use such a clumsy aggressive method."
Zhang Anshi was taken aback, and then hurriedly said solemnly: "I'm very sorry, I'm used to deceiving children. Ahem... I'd like to invite the three of you to let go of the past and do something for the soldiers and civilians in Taiping Mansion together. Let's do it."
In fact, the three of Wang Wenlue were able to win Jinshi. It has long been proved that their IQs are far superior to ordinary people, and after going through some ups and downs in the officialdom, they also know a thing or two about the affairs of the world.After experiencing the operation of the paper mill, I became more aware of the people's sentiments and the business situation.
They probably also vaguely felt that Taiping Mansion had indeed gone through earth-shaking changes under Zhang Anshi's governance.
At this time, there was no enmity between the two, and Zhang Anshi also sincerely invited him. Wang Wenlue took the lead and said, "The student is willing to obey."
After Kuang Ye and Zhang Youcheng looked at each other, they also clasped their fists together and said, "I would like to offer my encouragement."
"It's so good." Zhang Anshi was overjoyed, and said cheerfully: "I can rest assured in this way, haha... you take a few days off first, and you will take up the post after a few days. At the beginning, the conditions may not be very good, but ...Be patient, and you will get better slowly. That's right, let's have a light meal here at noon, I still have a lot to explain."
……
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law... Where do we learn from then?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Learn slowly. All in all, it's very interesting. Don't be too happy when the time comes."
Duke Ding Xu Jingchang was even more excited.
Dozens of teenagers behind are also gearing up one by one.
They arrived at this mysterious workshop with high walls and guards everywhere.
Xu Jingchang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was looking forward to what sharp things would be behind the high wall.
At this time, Zhang Anshi said: "I don't allow other people to come to this place on weekdays. Only my own family members are the only ones I am willing to let in. If not, if something is leaked, I will suffer."
"Brother-in-law... Don't worry, we are all loyal people."
"I know that you are loyal." Zhang Anshi arrived at the door and pointed: "Let's go, please go first."
Xu Jingchang and the others couldn't bear it any longer, and rushed in in a swarm.
Inside... Dozens of craftsmen were sizing up the young man who rushed in.
And then...the door slammed shut.
Soon, Xu Jingchang's mournful roar came from inside: "Brother-in-law... what's wrong, what's wrong?"
Zhang Anshi was outside the high wall, looking at the speechless sentries in front of the door, and explained: "No entry or exit is allowed, you can come out for three months, show me strict, tell the master inside, if you want to fight, you should fight. If you scold, scold them, don't be polite to them! These brats are not good people on weekdays, they are idle, they should be cured long ago, if they don't learn well, I will deal with them."
"Here."
